How to Speed Up Load Time on Instagram
One of the best things about Instagram, is the capability to share videos and images on-the-go. When you’re traveling, it’s great to be able to take a photo and instantly share it to your Instagram account for friends and family to see. But spotty mobile data and Wi-Fi connectivity can present a big problem for users that want to share videos and images while they’re out-and-about.
In order to upload photos or video files to Instagram, you’ve simply got to have a fast, stable connection to the Internet. If not, many may have problems with uploads loading for long periods of time or never actually completing. Other times, it may appear that the content you’re trying to share has been uploaded to your Instagram feed, but in fact, the photos or videos have not been shared with your followers or it takes an extended period of time for the content to be viewed.
Quick answer
Should you have a backup 4G, 5G, Starlink, or cable internet connection?
Yes — every internet connection goes down, including Starlink, which drops for ~34 minutes a day on average. A backup connection from a different provider means one outage never takes you fully offline. The most common options are a 4G/5G cellular hotspot, a cable or DSL line, or a second satellite dish.
4G/5G cellular
Works anywhere. Just a SIM or hotspot — no installation needed.

Speedify gets you faster uploads and downloads from the devices around you
Speedify's Pair & Share feature lets you and the devices around you pair up and share 4G/5G cellular both ways, so every paired device gets faster uploads, faster downloads, and a steadier internet connection. All sides share and use each other's cellular at once, unlike a personal hotspot, where one device gives and the rest take.
Speedify's Pair & Share feature runs over the local network between devices already running Speedify, with no extra hardware and no new data plans. Speedify creates an encrypted pool of shared 4G/5G cellular connections across all paired devices. Each device taps into that shared pool of combined connections for faster upload and download speeds and a more reliable internet connection.
